Little Litany (Brother Isaiah, J.J. Wright and Friends)

From the distrust of your provision, deliver me, deliver me, O God
From the distrust of your protection, deliver me, deliver me, O God
From the lie that you are not a good Father, deliver me, deliver me, O God
From my tendencies toward self-reliance, deliver me, deliver me, O God

Loosen my grip, O Lord, from empty fearfulness
And open my heart to the joy of your love
The joy of your love, oh, oh, oh
The joy of your love

From the fear of being forgotten or abandoned, deliver me, deliver me, O God
From the fear that trusting you will leave me destitute, deliver me, deliver me, O God
From the lie that I am unlovable and inadequate, deliver me, deliver me, O God
From the discouragement that robs me of your joy, deliver me, deliver me, O God

Loosen my grip, O Lord, from empty fearfulness
And open my heart to the joy of your love
The joy of your love, oh, oh, oh
The joy of your love
Your love for me, God
In faith that with you, I shall not want, strengthen me, strengthen me, O God
In faith in your ever-watchful care, strengthen me, strengthen me, O God
In trust in your tender love for me, strengthen me, strengthen me, O God
In the knowledge of who I am in your sight, strengthen me, strengthen me, O God

Loosen my grip, O Lord, from empty fearfulness
And open my heart to the joy of your love
The joy of your love, oh, oh, oh
The joy of your love
Your love for me, God

Your love for me, God
